Fourteen people were charged yesterday in an illegal online gambling operation run out of northern New Jersey.

US Attorney Paul Fishman said 13 people, including alleged members of the Genovese organized crime family and its Lascala Crew, were hit with racketeering conspiracy. The other defendant was charged with transmission of wagering information.

Fishman said the gambling Web site was maintained in Costa Rica, but bettors paid or received money in New Jersey.

The Lascala Crew also allegedly profits from illegal gambling at social clubs it operates in north Jersey and elsewhere.
